Hawaii native plants
Hawaii is a special case, and the catalog reflects it honestly: only a small number of its plants are recorded as Hawaii natives, because the islands' flora is overwhelmingly endemic, evolved in isolation, and not covered by a mainland-focused catalog. Use this as a starting point and lean on a local source — Hawaiian natives are among the most threatened plants on earth and worth getting right.
